The Tissot Story

For more than 150 years, Tissot has embodied the innovation and tradition of Swiss watch-making. Based in the Neuchâtel area of the Jura Mountains, in Le Locle, Switzerland, Charles-Félicien Tissot and his son Charles-Emile created the watch making company Tissot in 1853. Whether in the technology of its movements, in the research for special materials or in the very functions of the watch itself, Tissot's engineers and watchmakers have developed pioneering timepieces over the years.

Some of Tissot's triumphs over the years include the the Idea 2001 (the world's first plastic watch) released in 1971, the Rock watch (which set the timepiece's movement in a stone case made from Swiss Alps granite) in 1985, and the Wood watch from 1988 (with a completely wooden case). Tissot uses the best movements (from ETA SA Manufacture Horlogère Suisse), the highest quality materials (316L steel, 18K gold, titanium) and scratch-proof glasses (sapphire crystal--at least 2500 Vickers).

The company has been involved with high profile sports events since 1974 when they sponsored a racing car in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, France. Since then Tissot's timepieces have been chosen as official timekeepers for world championships in cycling, motorcycling, fencing and ice hockey. And Tissot is currently the the official watch and timekeeper of NASCAR.

Tissot timepieces have been worn by a bevy of celebrities over the years--including Grace Kelly, Elvis Presley and Nelson Mandela--and James Stewart's character L.B. Jefferies wore a Tissot timepiece in Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window." Today the company is represented in a variety of sporting fields by English soccer star Michael Owen, IndyCar driver Danica Patrick, and MotoGP world champion Nicky Hayden. Today, Tissot is a member of the Swatch Group, the world's largest watch producer and distributor.

This watch delivered on its promises from functionality to looks. I originally got the stainless steel dive version, but replaced it with the titanium pilot version (Amazon was wonderful in the exchange). The stainless steel version was too heavy and I didn't find the dive functions good enough to back up a true dive computer and normal depth guage. I find the pilot version look to be much better due to the black face and more precise hands, and I was surprised by how light the titanium version is despite its size - the weight difference is barely discernable from my much smaller Seiko I had for many years. I use the watch from executive presentations to running, and it serves well and looks good in all applications. As far as the T-Touch goes in general, it is excellent. Switching functions is easily done day or night, and having the ability to read altitude (including adjusting for ambient pressure changes) while driving in the mountains, track my runs with the stop watch, keep our direction on mountain hikes with the compass, check ambient temperature while working outside, etc. makes it extremely functional. When giving presentations in meetings, the large face enables me to get an accurate time check with only a quick glance. The watch is definitely expensive, but for me it was a 50th birthday present from my family that should serve me the rest of my life - I was very pleased with this generous and high quality gift.

Overall just a great watch. Looks cool, pretty light and cool functions. The light is a definite plus. Had an older t-touch but it was heavier (not titanium) and it did not have a light so reading time, temperature or any other info during the night or in complete darkness was impossible.
